RUPERT AND YOUNG KEVIN

The fields are white. As they press on They wonder where their pals have gone.

As Podgy has asked for a pause the three pals hold back for a few minutes. “The wind has dropped and the sky looks clear again,” says Rupert. “We’ve lost a lot of time,” says Podgy. “Shall we go back now?” “No, let’s go forward,” says Rupert. “We saw where Constable Growler was going. We’d better see if he is returning before we turn.” So they push on over the smooth snow. All at once there is a call from Bingo. “Hey, look over there!” he cries. “Where’s that scarecrow?”
